Was that the FJO ecu? Because that is what the current Holley HP and Dominator is based off of. They bought out FJO Racing Products and further developed their ECU.

To be honest I don't know. Tom Jenkins was the race rep at Holley and decided to get the team I was involved with to R and D. They wired a truck and installed all the ignition and software. This unit was 1 coil per cylinder and used a lap top and had the same tuning software ideas as the new Dominator. We had the fuel injection from them as well but never tested it. The truck had the original MSD in it as well because the Holley was a test. 1 day the truck fired and blew up the intake on its own!! Seriously it was parked in the shop with nobody around and kabloom. Everthing was sent back to Holley. That was the cost of testing a new product so both parties could learn. The new stuff does not require 8 coils and seems to be really reliable. A lot of people I know use it and prefer it. They all are using power adders now so I am positive Holley fixed the problem. The fuel injection that we were supposed to test in 01 but the class was axed. So 15 years later it made its way into pro stock. This software was ahead of its time with the tunability it offered . Individual cyl timiming, and timing changes on gear changes was really a good idea. It's really helpfull with nitrous tuning Lol

I'm using a stand alone harness for my LY6 and tr6060 made by Modern Vintage Performance in Indiana. The quality is amazing, the customer service is fenominal and it looks awesome.

You guys are talking about different things. A "Stand Alone" refers to an ECM system that controls the drivetrain and sometimes other stuff, without the help of a factory ECM.

What your referring to is a custom harness, which is sometimes called a stand alone harness, meaning "not part of the factory wiring". Just so everyone is kinda on the same page.
